Rise & Dye: Olumo Rock and Adire Heritage Tour

ABOUT THE TOUR

Imagine standing at the base of a rock that has witnessed centuries of history—Olumo Rock, a symbol of strength, resilience, and culture in the heart of Abeokuta. Now, imagine combining this rich history with a hands-on journey into the vibrant world of Adire fabric, the iconic dyeing tradition of the Yoruba people. This is not just a tour; it’s a deeply immersive experience that takes you back in time and brings to life the art, stories, and spirit of the land. ✨

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Lagos to the foot of the majestic Olumo Rock, where you’ll be invited to ascend its ancient steps, just as generations have done before you. Learn about the sacred stories carved into the stone and feel the connection between the past and present as you soak in panoramic views of Abeokuta from its summit.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there...

After conquering the heights of Olumo, we’ll descend into the colorful world of Adire fabric at a local workshop. This is where the magic happens. Discover the intricate process behind the creation of Adire, one of the most beautiful and timeless African textile traditions. It’s not just an art form; it’s a story told through fabric—a tale of heritage, identity, and craftsmanship passed down through generations. 🌟

This tour is more than just sightseeing; it’s a journey into the soul of Nigeria’s cultural heritage. Whether you’re a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or someone looking for a unique adventure, the Rise & Dye tour offers something unforgettable. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting Lagos in December, giving you a perfect balance of adventure, creativity, and cultural immersion.

Come ready to explore, learn, create, and leave with memories, stories, and your very own piece of Adire as a tangible reminder of this once-in-a-lifetime journey!
